Researchers at Princeton demonstrated conclusively that it takes less than five minutes to insert software into a Diebold AccuVote machine and rig an election. ... demonstration doesn't apply only to the AccuVote-TS; that just happens to be the model they were able to get for testing.... Princeton paper isn't alone.... Johns Hopkins.... "We conclude that this voting system is unsuitable for use in a general election." (Incidentally, it was presented at the 2004 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. So this isn't lightweight stuff.)
